Those folks at Norton have done it again! Right when i think I know it all about Ed Spenser, Norton comes out with something truly outstanding. Even if you never get around to reading this tome, it belongs on your bookshelf. All well-read people have read the Faerie Queen and a few of Spenser's other masterpieces like "Tristram Shandy."

This is one super book!

I think that this book was really fantastic. It was very close to reality in the way that the characters act. I also thought that the shooting close at the end was surprising.

I dissolved into giggles when I stumbled across this alphabet book. The drawings are delightfully silly, showing fruits, vegetables and other foodstuffs coming to their untimely ends or in other fraught situations. Rex Barron, an illustrator new to me, creates amazing personalities for these items of produce. This is definitely a keeper. Fair warning - if you are prone to anthropomorphizing, you may find yourself reluctant to bite into that crisp shiny apple after reading this!

Hellcat -- Wildcat -- that's what they called the tempestuous and beautiful Savarra Bainbridge, wayward daughter of a British general. Savarra had fancied herself in love with Peter Haverly, a dashing young rogue whose favorite pastime was deflowering virgins. He had promised to marry Savarra and she had believed him. Her father knew better and forced her to come to America, where the Revolution was blazing.

I bought this book about four years ago and have just got around to reading it (any of you out there like that?). When I purchased it, I did so because I liked the pictures and illustrations, and thought if I had some spare time that spring, I might try to learn a thing or two about gardening. Then I got pregnant, and the book sat on the shelf, collecting dust until now. Motivated by the numerous flower beds at our new home, I thought it might be a good time to open this book up, and what I found was a wealth of user-friendly and good-humored information. Unlike many "beginner" gardening books, this one truly is for the first-time gardener, who doesn't know the difference between a trowel and a spade, and never knew that what type of soil you have can impact how your garden grows. And of course, there are the gorgeous illustrations and photographs that drew me to choose the book in the first place. This really is a perfect way to enter the intimidating world of gardening.

I'm not a Muslim, but I've found this an ideal book to share with other non-Muslims, who may feel put off by the attire of Muslim women. This book is full of photos of girls and women who demonstrate that it's easy to dress beautifully *and* Islamically at the same time.

"Focus on Scarf Styling" will be a great morale-booster for any young Muslim girl -- the pride and self-respect she sees on every smiling face in the book will be a tremendous inspiration.

It could be used with great benefit in classroom cultural studies as well, to show kids from other backgrounds that being an observant Muslim can be cool!

Absolutely essential for reading, translating or speaking French. The most common verbs are completely conjugated in an easy to use form. Verbs not fully conjugated are referenced to similar verbs using the same conjugation.

I expected to hear a lot of words in English and its French translation, but what I found was a concise guide to understand and speak French in different everyday situations. A great surprise ! Vocabulary on the cassette is organized in 12 subjects (Feelings, the Weather, Moods / Leisure Time with Friends / Shopping / Health ...) with almost 40 expressions per subject, first spoken in English and later in French by a man or a woman. Sound is good and the English speaker introduces in a pleasant way every group of phrases. Booklet has two parts, one with the cassette transcriptions and the other with some travel tips and more words and sentences (in both parts you will learn more sentences than words) grouped in others 15 subjects (related with the events of a trip) not included in the cassette but with a pronunciation guide. Recommended for those that are planning to travel to a francophone country and has a basic or none knowledge of French.

this book is, simply put, wonderful. you will love the good guys and detest the bad, but most of all want to praise ms. elliot for her touching masterpiece

This book is great for anyone who is considering buying a gerbil or even for people who already have one. I most recommed it to people who are trying to convince their parents to let them have a gerbil. Even if you don't want to buy it it is still a good idea to check it out of your local library. It tells you every thing you ever wanted to know about gerbils. About food, housing , handling, anything you can think of. Have fun!
